From the 15^th to the 17^th May, the Stage 2 PE class (and Eddie) travelled to Port Vincent to complete their non-moderated Kayaking practical assessment (worth 16.7% of their overall grade). In gorgeous conditions, the students completed a variety of criteria, including paddling, sweep strokes, support strokes, draw strokes, emergency stops, distance paddle, eskimo and deep water rescue and capsize. The independence, leadership and general contribution of the group was outstanding and was reflected in their results. Well done to Callum Gaze on achieving an A- and to Haylee Studham, Catelyn Harkness, Taylah Pratt and Alex Howard for their B+ grades.

I would like to thank Lucy Thiel and Eddie for coming along to support and to Alfie’s for letting us crash there. Good fun and memories for all involved!
